A CONNECTICUT YANKEE (FAN) IN KING ARTHUR’S COURT – A new musical by Stephen Murray

Henrietta ‘Hank’ Morgan is an MIT Astrophysicist and a die-hard fan of the New York Yankees. After a mishap while observing a total eclipse, Hank wakes up to find herself in Medieval England during the reign of King Arthur. Hank befriends the peasants of ‘Serf City’, becomes an ally of the King, and discovers the great secret of the sorcerer, Merlin. However, the Anglos and the Saxons have joined forces with Arthur’s evil sister, Morgana Le Fey. Can Hank save Camelot from invasion? Will she ever return to her own time? Find out in this modern adaptation of Mark Twain’s classic story.
